Minnesota,
This is a great time to use the exposure therapy to assist you in this goal. Session 4 includes a introduction to exposure work and helps you get started.
Step by step you can do this!
My hubby asked me to do one thing this week and thats take the bus alone, so i'm going to figure out a plan and then try do it:) i'll be thinking of all of you:) i'll take my snack bag with.;)
I have to eat before I take the bus, and I take water and nuts on the bus ( not me nuts, but i take protein foods, like almonds or trail mix ( without the chocolate) I find it helps me to remain calm,
Um the eating thing , well i can say that if i get very full full up then i get very anxious now for some reason , But that might be to do with not eating properly for ages .
ah that made me smile and giggle to myself. i can just imagine myself sitting on the bus visualising a bus full of people with panic attacks going whoooop whooop haha
think i have some bus catching to do this weekend. does anyone else avoid eating near the time they are going to catch the bus? i found that the one time i caught the bus after i had eaten i was more prone to feeling panicky.
OOOOOOOOOO that sounds very promising and a great plan . I did catch a bus today , but with family . Husband asked what i was laughing at , i just couldnt answer him . Imagine the what people would have thought , its not exatly private on a bus is ? lol .
hehe..yeah my husband asked me to try take the bus this week by myself, so I need to try.
I will try not to giggle:) I always just chat to the driver, keeps the mind off things.
There is a new store opening up the street from me, I might ride it up there and see if they are hiring yet. Might start applying, I need to get back to work, I think its good for me..even if I do 3 days a week.
Yay Minnesota , imagine all of us on the bus with you whoop whooping as you go along . Now just dont start giggling on the bus ok ??? Seriously im routing for you .
